I stay home with my 3.5yo, 2yo, and 4wo. I have found heaven in playdates and adult conversations while the kids play. Find a mom or two with kids around the same age. Stalk women at the park lol ;) I also am in a choir once a week... I took this season off bc of the baby, but I'll be going back in February!

I feel that way sometimes too. Most of my friends either don't have kids or the ones that do moved out of town. I joined our local Mom's Club when my oldest was 2 (she's 9 now). You should check around your area for a club like that. Ours does playdates and stuff like that. I'm sure there's something. Then you can hang out with other moms and your 2 year old will have playmates. :)

I do play dates and weekly story time. I LOVE story time!!! I get adult interaction. I also just get out of the house and it helps a lot. Now with a newborn we haven't gone much of anywhere but soon we should be getting back on schedule.

I kind of have a life outside of the kids. I'm a full time student so that demands a lot of my time and keeps my brain active plus I meet people at school. I love my kids but at a certain point I was getting bored at home. Of course that was before the last two came along. Now I'd like to take a break from school just because I'm so busy. But I know in a few years once they are in school it would be nice to have a career for myself.

Honestly, no. I have a 2 yo and a 2 week old. They totally need mommy all the time.
I don't really mind, I wanted kids, I understood what I was signing up for.
As they get a bit older, I know I'll be able to get out and do more.
For now, I take what I can get. Chatting with the moms at my son's play group. Friends coming over for a play date or visit. Hanging out with my family.

I have no life. I have found that it is really hard to make friends as an adult. I have lived in the same city for two years and don't really have friends. There are people that I chat with, like our neighbors and moms of my daughters school friends, but I never hang out with any of them. Not sure why and it is kind of depressing at times.
